</span>OK. I have no trouble using the VS2017 toolchain fro python3, I hope I'm not bound to VS2008 (say for Python 2.7)?</blockquote><div><br></div><div>Unfortunately yes.

Beter not waste too much time on Python 2 ;)<br></div></div><br>-- <br><div class="gmail_signature" data-smartmail="gmail_signature">Olivier</div>
